Let’s face the undeniable facts: humans are the only species clever enough to make their food, mindless enough to poison that very same food, and then myopic enough to actually eat it. Robert Lustig, MD, retired professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at UCSF, intricately expounds on the above point in his 2021 book, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine. His book basically demonstrates what food can do for health versus what the food industry undeniably does for disease thru its manipulation and adulteration of various foods that are initially grown on farms.
He also makes an incredibly powerful statement in the book: “Food is the only lever we have to affect biochemical change in order to improve our health & to affect political change in order to improve our economy and environment.”
